<p>So glad to hear about your results. I am currently on #3 but have to have my ct on thur. as this treatment is seems is very toxtic to me and they want to see whats going on and then decide what the next step will be.<br />
Whatever your choice I hope there are no serious side effects.<br />
Love<br />

<p>the last cocktail- Oxil IV plus 5fu fanny pack is what I'm on..extreme nausea on day 3-4 and other lesser assorted side effects. On second day of 2nd round with dose adjustment of 5fu and additional hydration infusion to combat side effects - so far so good; will advise. Bud</p>

<p>Great news! I'm sure you are so releived to know that the chemo is working. I had choice #3 for 6 months. It wasn't easy, but tolerable. My biggest complaint was nausea. I'm sure with the help of your doctor you will choose the right meds. Good luck and take care,<br />

<p>Phew, what a relief and what good news! Sorry about more tx decisions...but it's working! My only expeience is with 5FU and leuco, which have had relatively few side effects for me...NO bad taste, just extra saliva! and now mega fatigue and depression of hematocrit. Hasn't hubby had some of these chemicals in the past? It's so hard to have to learn as we go; hope whatever you decide works well with tolerable side effects; you're in my thoughts. Judy</p>

<p>I love GOOD NEWS! Congratulations. I just got my CT back last week with good news too, ALL CLEAR, it was my second one in a row! So about your choice for chemo...all of them suck. I was on 5FU and leucovorin. I went for an IV push every week for 2 weeks then took one off. I'm not a big fan of 5FU, but it is the standard and it worked for me. The only thing is, while it is being administered, it leaves a HORRID taste in your mouth -- like you're sucking on a rusty nail coated in gut wrenching chemicals. So...if he had the choice to stay away from 5FU, I might take that one. The only bummer about that is it's track record...it REALLY WORKS. So... I don't know what to tell you. CONGRATS on your CT though. I'm sure that made you feel great.</p>
